All my life I've taken photographs of people who are completely at peace being what they were in the situations I photographed them in.

Physical beauty is such a strange thing.

The world is shrinking as we see more and more of it in the media, and the more we see of the world, the smaller we are, the more aware we are of how insignificant any one of us is.

What pedophiles and people who have sexual desires on children lose sight of to a terrible, terrible degree - a devastating degree - is that their victims are real people who will suffer forever whatever abuses are perpetrated on them.

There's no particular evidence that any of the lower mammals or any of the other animals have any interest in aesthetics at all. But Homo sapiens does, always has and always will.

But empirically I've come to understand that my photographs really don't do any harm.

Different members of different cultures will think that some things are beautiful.
